Our Certified Pre-Owned Home Program is the first of its kind in Alaska. We created it because after years of experience helping people buy and sell properties, we know that the process can and should be much less stressful.

 

This revolutionary program eliminates the uncertainty of unexpected repairs, costly inspections, or drawn out negotiations when buying or selling a property

How The Certified Home Process Works

Home Inspection

By having the home inspection completed upfront, you are in the driver’s seat with negotiations. Home inspections can be beneficial for both the buyer and the seller. By having a pre-listing home inspection, a seller is able to identify problems and address them, before the home is on the market. This can help improve buyer confidence, and can result in a stronger offer.

Home Repairs

After the home inspection is complete, we will then go over the health and safety items identified during the home inspection. These items are then corrected by professional licensed contractors and then professionally re-inspected to insure the highest quality and to certify the homes as a Baker Team Certified Pre Owned Home.

Home Warranty

A home warranty is a policy on the property, covering items such as the appliances, heating systems, electrical, plumbing and more. Normally the coverage is for the first year the new buyer owns the home. If something breaks, the new owner pays a reasonable service call. Covered items are paid for by the warranty company.

For Sellers

After years in the real estate industry, we've seen firsthand the stresses and uncertainties that come with traditional property transactions. That's why we've developed a unique approach to eliminate these hurdles, offering peace of mind and control to both buyers and sellers.

 

The CPO Program is a game-changer in real estate, addressing the common issue where nearly one-third of homes under contract nationwide fail to reach closing, predominantly due to home inspection surprises. With our program, we preemptively tackle the root cause of these deal breakups. We understand that unmet expectations regarding a home's condition are often to blame, and our mission is to eliminate this uncertainty.

 

Our process begins with a thorough pre-list home inspection, a step that places you, the seller, firmly in the driver's seat. In traditional sales, unknown defects and repairs often come to light only after a buyer's inspection, leading to renegotiations or even deal cancellations. By conducting this inspection upfront, we uncover and address these issues before they become deal-breakers. This proactive approach not only boosts your negotiating power but also significantly increases buyer confidence, often resulting in stronger offers.

 

The heart of our program lies in the meticulous correction of identified health and safety concerns by professional, licensed contractors. These repairs are then re-inspected to ensure top-quality results, certifying your home as a Baker Team Certified Pre-Owned Home. This not only presents your home in the best possible light but also protects your financial interests. Buyers typically overestimate repair costs, which can unnecessarily reduce your sale price.

 

Moreover, our program includes a 1-year home warranty for the buyer, covering crucial components like appliances, HVAC systems, electrical, and plumbing. This warranty provides substantial benefits for both parties. For buyers, it offers a safety net for unexpected breakdowns, reducing post-purchase stress. For you, the seller, it minimizes the risk of post-sale disputes, ensuring peace of mind even after the transaction is complete.

 

With the Certified Pre-Owned Home Sale Program, you can say goodbye to the last-minute rush to fix issues under time pressure. You get the full picture before your home even enters the market, allowing you to address any concerns at your convenience. This not only streamlines the selling process but also paves the way for a smoother, quicker, and stress-free transaction for everyone involved.

For Buyers

We understand that buying a home is a significant milestone, and the last thing you want is the stress and uncertainty that can come with it. That's where our CPO program comes in, designed to give you, the buyer, an unparalleled sense of confidence and ease in your home buying journey.

 

Imagine stepping into the world of homeownership without the usual anxieties of unforeseen repairs or costly inspections. Our CPO homes are meticulously inspected and prepared to ensure that every detail meets our high standards. We take care of repair negotiations upfront, paving the way for a smooth and transparent transaction. But that's not all – you are also provided with a 1-year home warranty, offering you peace of mind for any unexpected repairs in your first year of ownership. This warranty covers essentials like appliances, heating systems, and more, meaning you're protected from the typical worries that come with home maintenance.

 

Our program is unique in its proactive approach. We start with a comprehensive pre-list home inspection, identifying potential issues before they become obstacles in your buying process. This preemptive strategy not only adds a layer of transparency uncommon in traditional home sales but also puts you in a stronger position. Knowing the home's condition in advance could save you hundreds of dollars by using the inspection report the seller already provided, streamlining the purchase process.

 

The benefits extend beyond just the inspection. We have the seller address health and safety concerns found during the inspection with professional, licensed contractors. These homes are then re-inspected to ensure the highest quality, certifying them as Baker Team Certified Pre-Owned Homes. This rigorous process not only enhances the home's value but also amplifies your confidence as a buyer.

 

In essence, our CPO Program is a win-win for both buyers and sellers. As a buyer, you're entering a purchase with your eyes wide open, backed by the assurance of transparency. It's not just a home you're buying; it's peace of mind.
